Thank you for this post. It gives me hope and understanding how wonderful life you can have with Steemit. I'm just a beginner and still trying to figure out how this works. I'm dedicated to do valuable content but now it is drowned between new posts. But I'm not giving up and I wish to meet awesome human beings and live a happy life :)
Also the world without paper currency sounds amazing, I like the idea as I never have felt that I fit anywhere in "the normal work system".
